Jenny Lass

Born and raised in Toronto, Jenny Lass is a freelance writer and cooking consultant with an MA in medical geography from the University of Toronto. In 2001, shortly after she established her writing company WordLink Communications, she was diagnosed with celiac disease and turned to the SCD when the gluten-free diet didn’t relieve her symptoms. She was inspired to combine her love of writing, science, and cooking for the Grain-Free Gourmet cookbook series.

Jenny met Jodi Bager at an SCD support group and began experimenting in the kitchen together. They decided to write an SCD-friendly cookbook that would help people with limited food choices rediscover the joy of eating and in 2005, Whitecap Books published their first foray into the culinary world, the bestselling Grain-Free Gourmet: Delicious Recipes for Healthy Living.
